Forum Guidelines wrote:Section 5: Language
c. Abuse / Racism
Members of the SGW community are required to speak courteously to others. Personal attacks on other members are not tolerated. This includes comments about one’s sex, gender, skin color, religion, or cultural heritage. You may not post personal information about another user regardless of how it was obtained. This includes their address, phone numbers, names, or any other detail about their real life status that they have not already posted on the SGW forums themselves. For exceptions to this rule please see the role playing section (section 6).
Consequence:
Minor infringements such as throw away comments may be ignored. If not, a polite note from a moderator will be issued requesting the user to tone it down. More serious cases and repeated breaking of the rule will result in the issuing of warning points. Very serious comments will be given more warning points. This will be judged with input from the Forum Administrators and Moderators.
The post that FM quoted does not fall under this rule, currently. This is because it was not a personal attack against another member of the SGW community. It was directed at no one.
SO, to address FM's specific issue which he brought up there are 2 options.
1) Change this rule to make racist statements in general (hate speech) against the rules
2) Do not change the rules and keep general racist statements directed at no one personally not against the rules
To address FM's issue of the TOS/Legal/UA all being added to the Forum Guidelines; Well SS already did. They're not meant to be enforced, so looking at them all 1 by 1 and deciding if they should be added is silly. If you think something needs to be added to the rules, just bring it up. You did so here already, good. Believe it or not Mods do this already on their own, they create threads in the Moderator Section about necessary rule changes (etc) and they're discussed, then either implemented or not. So it's not as if the onus is entirely on the users to suggest rules changes (just so you know).
Hope that solves your issue...
*EDIT*
I should add then the choices I wrote down about (1 and 2) are the Admins to make. They need to decide whether or not it should be added to the rules. All we, as non-Admins can do is make it as easy as possible for them. For example writing several possible examples of the rule change so all they have to do is copy/paste if they agree.
